The Ginger Light is a unique collaboration between Jeremy Reed and sonic soundscaper Itchy Ear. Bored by the staid glow of light that poetry recital currently bathes in. Jeremy and Itchy have collaborated to bring some "Ginger Light" to the performance in an attempt to blur the boundaries that exist between spoken word, music, sound design and song.
